Maybe mhmail needs a '-server servername' option and perhaps
some other send options as well.

Perhaps, though is that necessary?  It seems that mhmail was
intended to be lean.  The man page recommends using comp and
send for interactive use.  For scripts, a different mts.conf
could be used by setting MHMTSCONF, e.g.,

$ cat /tmp/mts.conf
servers: localhost

$ MHMTSCONF=/tmp/mts.conf mhmail levine \
-from guesswho@localhost -subject test -body hello

Ah! I did not know about MHMTSCONe Thank you.

Suppose I want to do something like:

mts=/usr/local/nmh/etc/mts.conf    #depends on installation
sed < $mts >| /tmp/mts.conf -e '/^servers:/s/:.*/: localhost/'
MHMTSCONF=/tmp/mts.conf mhmail norm -from norm -subject "$1"

But replacing /usr/local/nmh/etc/mts.conf with the location of mts.conf.
Is there some way a script can know the location of nmh's etc directory?
